Once you update and use the experimental to add attractmode, how do you have the frontend start with attractmode? I'm still getting emulationstation.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Change the /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh file to something like this.

Code: [Select]

# emulationstation #auto
attract

Thanks for the tip...because I'm actually using OSMC as my distribution with the script that launches emulationstation from within KODI, I'm missing something to launch attract instead of the emulation station.

Maybe I'll just start over with a fresh install of retropie and not use OSMC...

once installed through the retropie exp interface is there a way to execute directly through the pi? without command lines. or for ease of use could that be implemented to help the idiots like me in the future.

Great work by the way.
